Brings together over a decade of work

Liminal Space began completely by chance. Photographer Marina Sersale began wandering her native city of Rome, Italy, documenting the familiar areas around her. The result was a series of dramatic black-and-white images of people, sights and scenes. The book brings together over a decade of work, providing a visual exploration of the spaces between light and shadow, reality and imagination. For Sersale, photography is both a way of perceiving everyday life and a means of engaging with it. 'This body of work explores the threshold between reality and perception: I am drawn to moments in which the familiar becomes uncertain, where the boundary between what is seen and what is imagined begins to blur, and a fleeting sense of intimacy between myself and my subject emerges.' Rome, Positano, Venice and New York become suspended scenarios, in which reality seems to hold its breath; light and shadow dialogue, immobilising time in a liminal space inhabited by figures in transit, in a dimension that seems to transcend time and reality.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
